कावासाकीZ900 यह आसानी से भारत की सबसे लोकप्रिय नग्न “सुपरबाइक” है, और इसे पिछले साल एक बड़ा अपग्रेड मिला था। सवाल यह है कि इन बदलावों का क्या असर हुआ है और क्या यह बाइक अभी भी इतने प्यार की हकदार है।
Z900 डिज़ाइन और गुणवत्ता – 8/10
पहली चीज़ जो आप नोटिस करेंगे वह यह है कि स्टाइल को हर कोण से दोबारा तैयार किया गया है। दोनों सिरों पर प्रकाश व्यवस्था को एक महत्वपूर्ण नया स्वरूप मिलता है, और ईंधन टैंक क्षेत्र के चारों ओर नए बॉडी पैनल हैं। परिणाम एक ऐसी बाइक है जो पहले की तुलना में अधिक चिकनी और थोड़ी कम प्रभावशाली दिखती है। मैं जानता हूं कि बहुत से लोग पिछले डिज़ाइन के 'बड़े-लुक' को मिस करेंगे, लेकिन जिन कुछ अन्य लोगों से मैंने बात की, उन्होंने कहा कि उन्हें ताज़ा नया लुक पसंद आया।

इसमें कोई बहस नहीं है कि Z900 अधिक विशेष लगता है। करीब से निरीक्षण करने पर छोटे टैंक कफन पर नए ब्रश किए गए एल्यूमीनियम फिनिश जैसे अच्छे विवरण सामने आते हैं। कुछ हाई-ग्लॉस ट्रिम पैनल भी हैं जो सवार के पैरों के पास फ्रेम के अधिक कार्यात्मक दिखने वाले क्षेत्रों को बड़े करीने से छिपाते हैं। सबसे प्रभावशाली बदलाव नए 5-इंच टीएफटी डिस्प्ले में आता है। यह न केवल पुराने वाले से बड़ा है, बल्कि अधिक हाई रेजोल्यूशन वाला भी है। डिस्प्ले अब पूरी तरह से स्विचगियर द्वारा नियंत्रित है, और पहले की तरह स्क्रीन के नीचे निपटने के लिए कोई रबरयुक्त बटन नहीं हैं। अंत में, मुझे नया टेल-लैंप काफी पसंद है जो मेरी नज़र में काफी ताज़ा और लगभग यूरोपीय दिखता है।
नया टीएफटी डिस्प्ले पहले से ज्यादा महंगा लगता है
डिज़ाइन संशोधनों के साथ-साथ राइडर एर्गोस में भी काफी महत्वपूर्ण बदलाव आया है। जिस क्षण मैं बाइक पर चढ़ा, ऐसा महसूस हुआ कि सवारी की स्थिति पहले की तुलना में अधिक प्रतिबद्ध थी – ऐसा महसूस होता है कि चौड़े नए हैंडलबार की ओर अधिक झुकना है और यह भी महसूस होता है कि आप ऊपर बैठे हैं। निश्चित रूप से, एक नए रियर सबफ्रेम ने कावासाकी को सीट को अधिक पैडिंग देने की अनुमति दी है, जिसके कारण बाद में सीट की ऊंचाई 830 मिमी अधिक हो गई है।
हालाँकि अंततः मुझे लगा कि मैं नए एर्गोज़ और उनके द्वारा प्रदान किए जाने वाले अधिक जुड़ाव वाले अनुभव को प्राथमिकता दे रहा हूँ, लेकिन ऊँची सीट थोड़ी कमज़ोर है क्योंकि Z900 को हमेशा एक अनुकूल मोटरसाइकिल के रूप में सराहा गया है। एक और मुद्दा यह है कि बाइक अब सिंगल सीटर के रूप में बेची जाती है, और यदि आप किसी दोस्त को ले जाना चाहते हैं तो आपको पिछली सीट और पिलियन फुटपेग के लिए अतिरिक्त 35,200 रुपये का भुगतान करना होगा। हालाँकि, याद रखें कि बाइक को सिंगल सीटर के रूप में पंजीकृत किया गया होगा।
Z900 प्रदर्शन और परिशोधन – 10/10
कावासाकी Z900 हमेशा अपने प्यारे 948cc इनलाइन फोर के बारे में रहा है। यहां भी कुछ महत्वपूर्ण बदलाव हैं, जिनमें राइड-बाय-वायर थ्रॉटल, संशोधित कैमशाफ्ट और नई मैपिंग शामिल है। कावासाकी का कहना है कि ये बदलाव मध्य-श्रेणी के प्रदर्शन को बढ़ावा देने के इरादे से किए गए हैं, और वे ईंधन दक्षता में 16 प्रतिशत की बढ़ोतरी का भी दावा करते हैं। शुक्र है, प्रदर्शन संख्या जो मायने रखती है वह कमोबेश वही है जो पहले हुआ करती थी, सेगमेंट-अग्रणी 125 एचपी और लगभग 100 एनएम के साथ।
4-सिलेंडर इंजन अभी भी बेहद सहज, तेज और प्रयोग करने योग्य है
मुझे यह बताते हुए खुशी हो रही है कि यह इंजन अभी भी उतना ही सुंदर और सुचारू है जितना पहले हुआ करता था। वास्तव में, आपको संभवतः विशाल टूरिंग होंडा और बीएमडब्ल्यू पर छह-सिलेंडर मोटर्स के अपवाद के साथ, एक काफी स्मूथ इंजन खोजने के लिए संघर्ष करना पड़ेगा। शहर के भीतर कम गति पर ठिठुरना भी सुखद है। एक सुखद हल्का क्लच, अपेक्षाकृत अच्छा मोड़ त्रिज्या और सवार पर पड़ने वाली गर्मी की लगभग डरावनी कमी इसे एक बड़े, खराब भारतीय महानगर में रहने के लिए सबसे अच्छी बड़ी बाइक में से एक बनाती है।
एक आलसी क्रूज को ले जाने की अपनी सभी मधुर स्वभाव वाली इच्छा के बावजूद, मूड बनने पर Z900 रोमांचकारी रूप से तेज़ हो सकता है। रेडलाइन पर पहले गियर में यह लगभग 100 किमी प्रति घंटे की रफ्तार पकड़ लेगी और यदि आप थ्रॉटल को दबाए रखेंगे तो यह महज कुछ ही सेकंड में 180 किमी प्रति घंटे की रफ्तार पकड़ लेगी। गति बिल्कुल वहीं है जब आप इसे चाहते हैं।
Z900 सवारी आराम और हैंडलिंग – 8/10
जिस क्षेत्र में सबसे कम बदलाव देखा गया है वह चेसिस है। 212 किलोग्राम वजन के साथ, यह अभी भी एक भारी बाइक है, और जब आप इसे इधर-उधर फेंकना शुरू करेंगे तो आपको इसका एहसास होगा। इसका एक हिस्सा इस तथ्य पर निर्भर करता है कि स्टॉक सस्पेंशन सेटिंग्स काफी नरम हैं, लेकिन कुछ प्रीलोड और डंपिंग (केवल दोनों सिरों पर रिबाउंड एडजस्टेबल) में डायल करने से ध्यान देने योग्य अंतर आता है।
अब इसे सिंगल-सीटर के रूप में बेचा जाता है, जो कि एक कमी है।
जहां हैंडलिंग विभाग में नए Z900 का लाभ यह है कि इसमें नए रेडियल माउंटेड ब्रेक कैलिपर्स हैं जो पहले की तुलना में बेहतर प्रदर्शन प्रदान करते हैं, और इसमें बेहतर डनलप स्पोर्टमैक्स Q5A टायर भी हैं। कुल मिलाकर, यह एक स्पोर्टी और आकर्षक सवारी हो सकती है, लेकिन अगर आपको लैप टाइम पसंद है और तेज और आक्रामक सवारी गतिशीलता चाहते हैं, तो यह बाइक आपके लिए नहीं है।
212 किलोग्राम वजन के साथ, यह अभी भी एक भारी बाइक है, और जब आप इसे इधर-उधर फेंकना शुरू करेंगे तो आपको इसका एहसास होगा।
सराहनीय सुधार का एक क्षेत्र यह है कि नए छह-अक्ष आईएमयू के परिणामस्वरूप बहुत अधिक परिष्कृत कर्षण नियंत्रण प्रणाली आई है, जो पहले की तरह अचानक बिजली कटौती नहीं करती है। इसमें एक शानदार अप/डाउन क्विकशिफ्टर भी है, और बाइक को अब क्रूज़ कंट्रोल मिलता है। पहले की तरह, आपके पास दो पावर मोड और चार राइडिंग मोड हैं, जिसमें एक एडजस्टेबल राइडर मोड भी शामिल है। इसके अलावा, पहले की तरह, मोड के बीच कूदने पर कोई बड़ा अंतर महसूस नहीं होता है। समग्र इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स पैकेज अधिक परिष्कृत लगता है, लेकिन यह अभी भी डुकाटी जैसे प्रतिद्वंद्वियों की अधिक प्रीमियम बाइक जितना व्यापक नहीं है।

Z900 की कीमत और फैसला – 9/10
Z900 की कीमत अब 9.99 लाख रुपये (एक्स-शोरूम) है, जो इसे जल्द ही बंद होने वाली ट्रायम्फ स्ट्रीट ट्रिपल आर के करीब लाती है। इसका मतलब है कि इसमें अब उतनी अविश्वसनीय मूल्य अपील नहीं है, लेकिन आपको यह याद रखना होगा कि ऊंची कीमत हमारे नए 40 प्रतिशत जीएसटी टैक्स स्लैब और लगातार कमजोर होती मुद्रा के कारण है जो इस तरह की आयातित बाइक को प्रभावित करती है।
शहर के भारी ट्रैफिक से निपटने की इसकी क्षमता कुछ अन्य बड़ी बाइकों की बराबरी कर सकती है।
फिर भी, मुझे लगता है कि Z900 एक बेहतर मोटरसाइकिल है, और यह गुणवत्ता और विश्वसनीयता के लिए लंबे समय से बनी प्रतिष्ठा पर भी कायम है जो इसके पूर्ववर्तियों द्वारा स्थापित की गई है। यह निश्चित रूप से उन लोगों के लिए बाइक नहीं है जो घुमावदार सड़क या रेस ट्रैक पर पूरी तरह से हमला करना पसंद करते हैं, भले ही यह अपने इरादे में थोड़ा अधिक स्पोर्टी हो गया है। हालाँकि, आपमें से जो लोग एक चार-सिलेंडर 'सुपरबाइक' की तलाश में हैं, जो हमारे चुनौतीपूर्ण सवारी वातावरण में रहना आसान है, उनके लिए यह अभी भी इससे बेहतर नहीं हो सकता है।
नई दिल्ली: जेएसडब्ल्यू एमजी मोटर इंडिया में अपने इलेक्ट्रिक वाहन पोर्टफोलियो के लिए मजबूत आकर्षण देखा जा रहा है गैर-महानगरीय बाज़ारकंपनी के एक वरिष्ठ अधिकारी ने बताया, इसके विंडसर मॉडल की लगभग 70 प्रतिशत बिक्री शीर्ष चार शहरों के बाहर से होती है। पीटीआई.
अक्टूबर 2024 में लॉन्च होने के बाद से एमजी विंडसर ने लगभग 65,000 इकाइयों की संचयी बिक्री दर्ज की है। जबकि दिल्ली, मुंबई, कोलकाता और चेन्नई जैसे मेट्रो शहरों की बिक्री में 30 प्रतिशत हिस्सेदारी है, शेष हिस्सेदारी छोटे शहरों और शहरों द्वारा संचालित है।
जेएसडब्ल्यू एमजी मोटर इंडिया मुख्य वाणिज्यिक अधिकारी, विनय रैना ने कहा कि भारत में इलेक्ट्रिक वाहन को अपनाना शुरू में सीमित जागरूकता और बड़े पैमाने पर बाजार में उत्पादों की कमी के कारण मेट्रो शहरों में केंद्रित था।
“एमजी विंडसर की शुरूआत ने इस गतिशीलता को बदल दिया और गैर-मेट्रो शहरों में तेजी से ईवी अपनाने का एक प्रमुख प्रवर्तक बन गया,” उन्होंने कहा, उत्पाद का मूल्य प्रस्ताव स्थिरता और लागत बचत दोनों चाहने वाले ग्राहकों के साथ प्रतिध्वनित हुआ है।
रैना ने कहा कि गैर-महानगरीय क्षेत्र अब देश में ईवी विकास के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण अवसर पेश करते हैं।
विंडसर की बिक्री में और तेजी लाने के लिए, कंपनी बढ़ती जागरूकता पहल और ग्राहक जुड़ाव के माध्यम से इन बाजारों में अपनी उपस्थिति को गहरा करने की योजना बना रही है।
रैना ने कहा, “हमारे मजबूत नेटवर्क द्वारा समर्थित, हम निरंतर ईवी जागरूकता प्रयासों के माध्यम से अपनी पहुंच को और गहरा करने के लिए तत्पर हैं।”
ऑटोमेकर वर्तमान में पूरे भारत में 541 बिक्री और सेवा टचप्वाइंट का नेटवर्क संचालित करता है, जिनमें से केवल 51 मेट्रो शहरों में स्थित हैं।
जेएसडब्ल्यू एमजी मोटर इंडिया ने अक्टूबर 2024 से फरवरी 2026 के बीच भारत में करीब 1 लाख इलेक्ट्रिक वाहन बेचे हैं, जिनमें कॉमेट और जेडएस ईवी जैसे मॉडल शामिल हैं।
कंपनी ने 2025 में आंतरिक दहन इंजन वाहनों सहित कुल बिक्री में 19 प्रतिशत की सालाना वृद्धि के साथ 70,554 इकाइयों की सूचना दी।
भविष्य को देखते हुए, ऑटोमेकर ने भारत में विकास के अगले चरण को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए अपनी व्यापक रणनीति के हिस्से के रूप में इस साल चार नए मॉडल पेश करने की योजना बनाई है, जिसमें एक प्लग-इन हाइब्रिड एसयूवी भी शामिल है।

The Renault Duster was the one that started and defined the midsize SUV segment as we know it today. Thanks to its butch stance, rugged appeal and punchy diesel engine, the Duster gained a faithful fan following over the years and became a brand of its own. Now though, it’s back after a long hiatus and has a lot riding on it. There’s no diesel option now but just a pair of turbo petrols. So can it it live up to the hype and stay true to its legacy? We drive both the manual and automatic variants of the top-spec 1.3 turbo-petrol to find out.
Renault Duster Exterior Design and Engineering – 9/10
One aspect that Renault has got bang on with the new Duster is the design. It has some clear ties to the older model, while featuring contemporary touches. The India-spec model is broadly based on the third-gen model sold abroad, but Renault has gone to lengths to tailor it for our market. Up front, you get large LED headlights with distinctive eyebrow-shaped LED DRLs that double up as turn indicators. The grille too, is unique for India, doing away with the Renault logo altogether in favour of a bold ‘Duster’ badge, given its strong brand identity. The front bumper channels a hint of nostalgia with its protruding silver skid plate, reminiscent of the first-gen car, while pixel-style fog lamps sit neatly at the edges. Furthermore, the sculpted bonnet and air curtains in the bumper edges do their bit to add more substance.
Viewed in profile, the new Duster leans heavily into its rugged brief. There’s pronounced black cladding around the wheel arches and along the lower body, adding to its butch appeal. The rear door handles are tucked into the C-pillar and you get functional roof rails with a load capacity of 50kg, though they aren’t useful as roofboxes and carriers have been outlawed in our country. The Duster rides on cool-looking, 18-inch alloy wheels and boasts of a generous 212mm of ground clearance. Other India-specific touches include subtle Himalayan motifs on the front fenders and an accent strip on the cladding with ‘Iconic’ lettering.
At the rear, the design is fairly simple but there are some interesting elements. The triangular tail-lamps are linked by an LED light bar – a feature not seen on the global version. Then there’s a roof-mounted spoiler that adds a sporty edge, while the licence plate housing gets a textured finish. The black rear bumper, contrasted by a silver insert, helps break up the otherwise clean design and further its rugged appeal. Overall, the new Renault Duster is big on road presence. Colour options include Sunset Red, Pearl White, River Blue, Moonlight Silver, Stealth Black and Jade Mountain Green. The model featured here is the ‘Launch Edition’, marked out by its neon green accents all around and blacked-out alloys.
Unlike the European model, which is based on the Common Module Family – B (CMFB) platform, the India-spec Duster is built on the Renault Global Modular Platform (RGMP) platform, with a new electrical and electronics (E&E) architecture co-developed with Google. Going forward, the RGMP platform will also underpin sub-4m cars, unlike the CMFB platform, and the former can even take on full electrification – as well as other powertrains like hybrids and CNG – without any compromise on packaging.
As for dimensions, the Duster measures 4343mm in length, 1813mm in width, 1659m in height, with a 2657mm-long wheelbase, which puts it in the same ballpark as its midsize SUV rivals. Overall, the new Duster fits in between, as it is not as big as the Tata Sierra but also not as small as the Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun. Interestingly, the India-spec model is 50mm taller overall than the overseas model and a big reason for that is the panoramic sunroof. Renault had to raise the roof to accommodate the mechanism for this feature while still maintaining sufficient headroom. As a result, the Indian Duster’s cabin is about 40mm taller, and it’s got higher ground clearance too.
The electrically operated tailgate opens to reveal a segment-best 518-litres of boot space (700 litres up to roof) that can swallow up a lot of cargo. Though a downer is that there’s no spare tyre as standard, and you only get a puncture repair kit. Rounding things off are a 26.9-degree approach angle and a 34.7-degree departure angle – underlining that this Duster hasn’t strayed far from its go-anywhere roots. And on a specially curated off-road course on our drive, we experienced just how capable it is tackling the rough stuff.
Renault Duster Interior Space and Comfort – 8/10
Much like the exterior, the cabin of the Duster too has been thoroughly reworked from the international version to better align with local preferences. The dashboard is entirely unique, featuring a dual-screen layout complemented by a mix of textured and soft-touch materials that elevate the overall ambience. There’s also a liberal use of silver accents, faux carbon fibre trim and contrast green stitching, all of which adds a sense of flair to the otherwise functional layout.
Importantly, Renault hasn’t gone overboard with digitisation. The Duster strikes a sensible balance between screens and tactile controls, with a bank of physical buttons on the centre console handling key vehicle functions, including the HVAC controls. Rather uniquely, the automatic and manual get different centre consoles, with the auto featuring a high-set closed off panel that houses a deep, cooled storage area with cupholders, with the stubby gear selector, electronic parking brake and wireless charger positioned in front. The manual gets a lower-set centre console with a manual parking brake and you also get an additional shelf for your devices just below the physical controls on the dash. A special mention also has to go to the manual gear lever, which is great to look at and hold. Practical touches are well thought out too: the front armrest is slide-adjustable and houses a storage compartment, it gets a fairly large glovebox and the door bins can easily fit in 1-litre bottles.
The steering, which features a flat bottom and top, feels nice to hold and houses the controls for the cluster and cruise control while controls for the audio system are on a separate stalk behind the wheel, much like the older Duster. The digital instrument cluster has bright colours, is high res and configurable, though the layout may not be to everyone’s tastes and traditional Duster buyers may miss the simple round dials of the older model. The plastic, card-like key fob, which is the same as the cheaper Triber and Kiger, looks cheap and doesn’t feel premium.
The seats too, like the dashboard, feature dual-tone black and dark green upholstery with neon green contrast stitching which does look appealing. The front seats are accommodating and well-padded to keep you comfy over a long drive and they feature electric adjustment and one of the most effective seat ventilation systems around. The rear seat is a comfy place too for two adults and even though it can fit in a third, they won’t be comfortable for long thanks to the tight shoulder room and the transmission hump. Back here, there’s decent kneeroom and ample headroom for six-footers and the large sunroof and windows do help the sense of space. You also get a centre armrest with cupholders, dedicated AC vents and charging ports, though sunblinds for the rear windows are missing. The window line is much higher than before; the earlier Duster, with its lower window line and larger glass area, offered excellent outward visibility.
Renault Duster Features and Safety – 8/10
Renault has packed the Duster with all the features now expected in the midsize SUV segment. The infotainment system supports wireless smartphone integration and matches the digital cluster with its bright colours and high-resolution graphics but the 10.1-inch touchscreen, which in today’s screen-size race does feel a bit modest.
The headline feature, though, is the integration of Google services. Google Maps, Google Assistant and the Google PlayStore are all built in, can be accessed directly from the system, and work seamlessly. The interface itself is slick and responsive, but it isn’t the most intuitive to navigate on the move; the layout and menus lack the clarity and logical flow you get in rivals from Hyundai and Kia.
In addition to the ventilated and powered front seats, other ‘must-have’ features include a panoramic sunroof, a wireless phone charger, a 360-degree parking camera (though it’s not the sharpest around, however),a powered tailgate, auto headlamps and wipers, dual-zone climate control, connected car tech and much more
Its safety suite comprises six airbags as standard, front and rear parking sensors, a tyre-pressure monitoring system (TPMS), an electronic parking brake (DCT), three-point seatbelts, adjustable head rests and disc brakes on all four wheels. Notably, the Duster is the first Renault in India to get a Level 2 ADAS suite. On our short drive, the ADAS features weren’t too intrusive which points to a well-calibrated system, though the lane-keep assist did seem a bit too aggressive. What’s nice though is that there’s a handy button on the driver’s right side that turns off all the ADAS features, so you don’t have to fiddle through the sub-menus on the screen. Renault has also said it will be aiming for a full 5-star crash safety rating with the new Duster.
Features-wise then, the Duster is well equipped to take on rivals. However there could have been a better allocation of the features across the range and mid or second-to-top variants should have been equipped with features like ventilated seats and leatherette upholstery.
Renault Duster Performance and Refinement – 9/10
The Duster’s entry-level engine is a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, turbo-petrol that puts out 100hp and 160Nm and comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox only. Then there’s a 1.3-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol that produces 163hp and 280Nm (segment-leading figures) and is paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed DCT, both of which we got to sample on this drive. Interestingly, it’s this engine that accounts for 91 percent of all Duster bookings.
Renault is also offering a strong hybrid option, which pairs a 109hp, 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a 49hp electric motor and a 20hp hybrid starter generator (HSG), backed by a 1.4kWh (280 V) battery. This takes the total system output to 160hp and 172Nm. However, this powertrain will only be introduced by Diwali and Renault has announced that it’s already booked out for 2026. Unlike the original Duster, there’s no diesel engine or an AWD option on offer.
The 1.3 DCT is definitely our pick of the two. Not only is it more convenient than the manual but it is also nicer to drive. The engine itself impresses with its superb refinement, as there are no vibrations to be felt at idle and even when you get going it remains smooth throughout. The cabin insulation is very good too and as such you barely hear the engine inside and it’s only when you’re really revving it out that it becomes audible. There’s some turbo lag and a prominent step up in power delivery around the 2500rpm mark, followed by a strong mid-range punch and it will pull cleanly till its redline.
The wet-clutch dual-clutch automatic gearbox (DCT) doesn’t have the lightning-quick shifts of VW’s twin-clutch DSGs, but it impresses with its almost torque-converter-like smoothness. This really helps in low-speed city driving, where the Duster DCT feels smooth and seamless. There are even paddle shifters on offer that are responsive and add to the engagement when you’re driving in a spirited manner. As for flat-out acceleration, we clocked a preliminary 0-100kph time of 10.4sec, which is about par for the segment. What blunts performance somewhat is the overall tall gearing, which is partly responsible for a slow response at low revs, especially in the manual
The 1.3 manual will be the one the enthusiast will naturally gravitate towards. Our test drive was up a ghat road in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains and out here the manual felt in its element. Nothing quite beats the control and engagement you get from a proper three-pedal setup when you’re in the mood to drive fast. The clutch is light and has a consistent bite point, so it doesn’t feel jerky and what also helps matters are the well-defined gates which means shifts are precise. However, powering uphill out of hairpins and tight corners, the turbo lag is much more prominent in the manual than the DCT. The overall tall gearing means you have to constantly drop a gear to stay in the meat of the powerband or you’ll lose momentum.
The Duster 1.3 MT was slightly slower than DCT in the 0-100kph run, taking 10.8sec. There’s even drive modes on offer in both versions, though they only include Comfort and Eco, and the inclusion of a Sport mode would have been nice to see.
Renault Duster Mileage and Efficiency
Renault is yet to reveal official claimed figures for both engines and our short test drive meant we didn’t get a chance to test its real-world fuel efficiency. Still, given they are small capacity turbo engines, expect city efficiency to hover in the high single digits to low double digits, while highway efficiency should be in the mid-teens. As always, this will vary depending on driving styles and traffic conditions.
Renault Duster Ride Comfort and Handling – 9/10
Ride comfort was a hallmark of the old Duster and its been retained in this new-gen model. Our drive was from Dehradun up till New Tehri in Uttarakhand and this properly felt like Duster territory, with a mixture of smooth highway tarmac, tight ghat roads and broken patches with big rocks thanks to landslides. And the Duster dealt with all of that and barely broke a sweat.
It has that typical European hint of firmness, especially at low speeds, but that’s not to say that it’s uncomfortable by any means. It simply smothers rough patches and big potholes, without any of it filtering through to the cabin, and it also doesn’t have the steering kick-back associated with the older Duster. What helps matters is the height of the 225/55 R18 tyre sidewall which provides that additional layer of absorption. It’s equally capable at highway speeds, where it feels stable and composed.
The Duster is enjoyable around corners too. Body control is impressive, though when pushed hard there is a bit of roll, and it doesn’t feel quite as flat or tightly tied down as a Skoda Kushaq or Volkswagen Taigun. The steering, while on the lighter side, is precise and offers good feedback on a twisty road. You also get selectable steering modes, including a configurable Individual setting, which adds a welcome bit of heft for more spirited driving.
Renault Duster Value for Money – 9/10
Renault is offering the Duster in five trim levels – Authentic, Evolution, Techno, Techno+ and Iconic – and prices start at Rs 10.29 lakh and go up to Rs 18.49 lakh (ex-showroom). This represents good pricing and puts it right in the meat of the midsize SUV segment. Rivals like the Citroen Aircross and MG Astor are more affordable at the lower end while models like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Tata Sierra and Maruti Victoris all cost more at the top-end. The brand is also offering an ‘R Pass’ pre-booking benefit, which lowers the effective price of each variant by Rs 20,000-40,000 and offers priority delivery, among other benefits.
The brand is also introducing a new subscription programme which will not require a down payment and will bundle on-road costs and servicing into a single monthly fee. Customers will be able to choose from multiple tenure and mileage options, and at the end of the term, they can extend the subscription, return the vehicle, or even buy it. The Duster also comes with an impressive warranty of up to 7-year/1,50,000km.
Renault may have taken its time with the Duster, but it arrives well-prepared to take on the established players in the fiercely contested mid-size SUV segment. It’s got the rugged styling, a modern interior with all the expected new-age features, and a genuinely engaging driving experience thanks to that superb 1.3-litre turbo-petrol. It also feels tough enough to take real-world abuse in its stride.
That said, Duster loyalists will miss the option of a diesel or AWD, and a bit more rear-seat space would have widened its appeal further. Even so, the new Duster successfully picks up where its predecessor left off—staying true to its core strengths while moving the game on just enough to feel fresh, relevant and very desirable.
Big steps can be taken to promote EV in Delhi. According to reports, under the new EV Policy 2026, it may be mandatory to install charging stations at every auto showroom. If this is implemented, then the biggest worry of EV buyers can be removed. Know the complete possible plan.
news quickly
Delhi government can ask to install charging stations at all EV showrooms.
State governments are continuously working on new policies to promote EV. According to a recent report, the Delhi government may ask automobile companies to install EV charging stations at their vehicle showrooms. However, this is still a proposed policy and the final decision regarding it is yet to be taken, but if it is implemented then a big change will be seen in the EV sector.
This new policy can potentially be announced during the budget session on March 24, 2026. Under this proposed Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy, all vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) operating in the city will be asked to install at least one public charging station at each of their dealerships or showrooms.
What is the future plan?
According to a report by Indian Express, this policy will remain effective from the date of issue of notification till March 31, 2030, unless it is extended or amended. The main objective is to achieve 30 percent penetration of electric vehicles in Delhi by 2030. At present, people are hesitant in buying EVs due to lack of charging infrastructure. In such a situation, the main objective of this policy is to create a strong charging network.
Range anxiety is the biggest obstacle
In fact, the biggest challenge in EV adoption has been the lack of charging infrastructure. People are reluctant to buy electric vehicles especially in small cities and on highways due to lack of charging stations. In such a situation, if every auto company provides charging facility at its showroom, then this problem can be reduced to a great extent. With this, EV users will easily get charging points within the city and their range anxiety will also reduce.
Who will benefit?
This proposal will have a direct impact on common customers. Firstly, the confidence of those buying an electric car or scooter will increase, as they will know that charging facilities are easily available. Second, it will become easier and more convenient for new buyers to adopt EVs. Especially for first-time EV buyers who are worried about charging, this can prove to be a big relief.
Will auto companies get it?
This new policy will bring both challenges and opportunities for auto companies also. They will have to invest in installing charging stations at their showrooms, which may increase the initial cost. However, this will help companies in attracting customers and may increase EV sales. Companies which have a strong charging network will be able to move ahead in the competition.

The demand for electric cars is increasing rapidly in the Indian auto market. Mahindra is doing much better in this segment and the company has recently created a new record. They have delivered more than 600 of their Electric Origin SUVs in a single day on March 19, 2026.
This achievement is a big milestone not only for Mahindra but for the entire Indian EV market.

This achievement reflects the rapidly growing confidence and demand of Mahindra in the electric vehicle segment.
Record made on the first day of Navratri
This record delivery took place on the first day of Navratri, which is a time of festivals in India. Mahindra made a strong festive start by handing over new vehicles to the customers on this occasion. According to the company, these deliveries took place simultaneously at various dealerships across India, where customers happily returned home with their new electric SUV. This single day delivery is more than the monthly EV sales of some other leading brands, such as the entire month's EV sales of companies like Hyundai and Kia.
2026 Hyundai Verna Facelift vs Honda City: The sedan segment is quite popular in the Indian market. Verna and City are the most popular in this segment. Hyundai has recently updated Verna. At the same time, City is already available with hybrid engine and advanced features.
Talking about the price, the new Verna can be purchased from ₹ 10.98 lakh to ₹ 18.40 lakh. The company sells it in HX2, HX4, HX6, HX6+, HX8 and HX10 variants. At the same time, the price of Honda City starts from ₹ 11.95 lakh (SV MT) and goes up to ₹ 16.07 lakh (ZX CVT), while the hybrid variant is available around ₹ 19.99 lakh. Let us take a look at their design, features and safety details.
Design comparison
The look of Verna Facelift is bold and sporty. It looks attractive with a new black chrome grille, large LED projector headlamps, redesigned bumpers, 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and new colors (Classy Blue, Titan Gray Matte). Its length is 4565 mm. The design of Honda City is elegant and classic. Sophisticated lines, long body (4583 mm) and taller stance make it special. The City has more universal appeal for family use, while the Verna attracts younger buyers. The facelift of Verna gives a more modern and aggressive feel.
Interior comparison
The interior of Verna is premium and tech-loaded. Dual 10.25-inch integrated display (infotainment + digital cluster), leatherette upholstery, 8-way power driver seat memory function with welcome feature, electric walk-in device for co-driver seat, ventilated front seats, Bose 8-speaker sound system, rear window sunshade and multi-color ambient lighting.
Boot space is 528 litres, which is the largest in the segment. The City's cabin is spacious and comfortable, soft-touch materials, good rear leg-room and quality build make it special, but it doesn't have as big screens or ventilated seats as the Verna. The boot space of City is approximately 506 litres. Verna gives more luxury and modern feel.
comparison of features
Verna Facelift brings segment-first features. The company sells it with in-built dashcam, 360-degree camera with blind spot monitor, smart trunk, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and level-2 ADAS (Forward Collision Avoidance, Lane Keeping, Adaptive Cruise). ADAS (Adaptive Cruise, Lane Assist) is also available in City, but it is less advanced than Verna. City focuses on comfort but Verna is ahead in tech and convenience.
Safety comparison
The Verna gets 6 airbags as standard and 7 airbags at the top end (including the front centre), ESC, TPMS, 5-star GNCAP rating (from the previous model) and level-2 ADAS. 360 camera and dashcam add new safety layer. The City has 6 airbags, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist), hill assist and some ADAS features. Safety of the City is good, but Verna's 7 airbags and advanced ADAS provide more protection. ABS, EBD and rear parking sensors are standard in both.
Engine and Performance
Verna comes with two engine options – 1.5L NA petrol (115 PS, 144 Nm) 6MT or CVT and 1.5L Turbo GDi (160 PS, 253 Nm) 6MT or 7DCT. The turbo variant gives strong performance both on the highway and in the city. City has only 1.5L i-VTEC petrol (121 PS, 145 Nm) engine, which can be purchased with 6MT or CVT. The City's engine is smooth and refined, but the Verna's turbo is more powerful and exciting. ARAI mileage of Verna ranges from 18.6 to 20.6 kmpl and that of City ranges from 17.8 to 18.4 kmpl.

लेक्सस का कहना है कि भारत के लिए ग्राउंड क्लीयरेंस विशेष रूप से 20 मिमी बढ़ाया गया है।
2026 लेक्सस ईएस इंटीरियर
इसमें प्रौद्योगिकी, गुणवत्तापूर्ण सामग्री और स्थान को मिलाने का प्रयास किया गया है
नए ES का इंटीरियर दर्शाता है कि लेक्सस इसे “क्लीन टेक एक्स एलिगेंस” डिज़ाइन अवधारणा कहता है, जिसका उद्देश्य केबिन स्पेस को दृष्टिगत रूप से बढ़ाना है। इसे प्राप्त करने के कुछ साधनों में खिड़की की चौखट को कम करना, सीटों की मोटाई और विभिन्न ट्रिम टुकड़ों को कम करना और एक बड़े पैनोरमिक ग्लास छत को एकीकृत करना शामिल है – यह सब लेक्सस ने नए ईएस के साथ किया है।
डैशबोर्ड पर नियमित भौतिक बटन/नियंत्रणों को निकटता-संवेदन वाले बटनों से प्रतिस्थापित करके दृश्य अव्यवस्था को कम करने का भी प्रयास किया गया है जो किसी के हाथ का पता लगाने पर प्रकाश डालते हैं। इसके अलावा, दरवाजे के पैड में स्पीकर ग्रिल जैसी सतहों को अब अधिक समकालीन लुक और अनुभव के लिए संगीत-सिंक वाली एलईडी रोशनी मिलती है। डैशबोर्ड और डिजिटल इंस्ट्रूमेंट क्लस्टर पर बड़े दोहरे डिजिटल डिस्प्ले द्वारा इस भावना को और बढ़ाया गया है। सिंथेटिक चमड़े और साबर के साथ, नए ES का इंटीरियर कम से कम दो अलग-अलग रंग थीम में उपलब्ध है।
जबकि लेक्सस ईएस पांच सीटों वाली है, अधिकांश खरीदार संभवतः पीछे अकेले बैठे होंगे। इसका मतलब यह है कि कोई व्यक्ति मध्य आर्मरेस्ट को नीचे कर सकता है और, यदि ओटोमन सीटों के साथ विकल्प हो, तो सामने की यात्री-सीट को विद्युत रूप से आगे की ओर खींचकर फैला सकता है। लेक्सस का दावा है कि उसने बेहतर केबिन आराम के लिए एनवीएच-डैम्पिंग सामग्री की मोटाई और मात्रा को संशोधित किया है, जबकि स्टीयरिंग व्हील पर अब ब्रांड लोगो के बजाय 'लेक्सस' लिखा है।
2026 लेक्सस ईएस विशेषताएं
नई पीढ़ी की ईएस की उपकरण सूची काफी व्यापक है
चमड़े से लिपटे स्टीयरिंग व्हील के पीछे नक्काशीदार हिस्से में एकीकृत 12.3 इंच का डिजिटल ड्राइवर डिस्प्ले है, जिसमें मुख्य इंफोटेनमेंट स्क्रीन में 14 इंच की बड़ी हेड यूनिट शामिल है। इसमें मार्क लेविंसन प्रीमियम ऑडियो सिस्टम, वायरलेस ऐप्पल कारप्ले और एंड्रॉइड ऑटो और वायरलेस फोन चार्जिंग शामिल है। 2026 लेक्सस ईएस की कुछ अन्य विशेषताओं में एकीकृत तापमान समायोजन और मेमोरी फ़ंक्शन के साथ पावर्ड फ्रंट सीटें, मसाज वाली पिछली सीटें, एक हेड-अप डिस्प्ले मल्टी-कलर एम्बिएंट लाइटिंग और एक पावर-संचालित बूटलिड शामिल हैं।
चीजों के सुरक्षा पक्ष को कवर करने वाले सक्रिय नानी हैं जिनमें रडार-निर्देशित क्रूज़ नियंत्रण, लेन-परिवर्तन सहायता, टकराव की चेतावनी और शमन, ब्लाइंड-स्पॉट मॉनिटरिंग, अनुकूली हाई-बीम सहायता और ड्राइवर उनींदापन मॉनिटर शामिल हैं। नई लेक्सस ईएस 10 एयरबैग, सराउंड-व्यू कैमरा, ऑटो-होल्ड के साथ एक इलेक्ट्रॉनिक पार्किंग ब्रेक, हिल-होल्ड असिस्ट, इलेक्ट्रॉनिक स्टेबिलिटी कंट्रोल और ऑल-राउंड पार्किंग सेंसर के साथ आती है।
